-h,--help
Print usage information with a summary of the available options.
-v,--debuglevel
Set debug level, default: 1.
-+,--optionsfile
Read command line options from file.
-i,--infile
Public key or PKCS#10 certificate request file to issue. If not given the key/request is read from
STDIN.
-t,--typetype
Type of the input. One of pub (public key), priv (private key), rsa (RSA private key), ecdsa
(ECDSA private key), ed25519 (Ed25519 private key), ed448 (Ed448 private key), bliss (BLISS
private key) or pkcs10 (PKCS#10 certificate request), defaults to pub.
-k,--cakeyfile
CA private key file. Either this or --cakeyid is required.
-x,--cakeyidhex
Smartcard or TPM CA private key object handle in hex format with an optional 0x prefix. Either
this or --cakey is required.
-c,--cacertfile
CA certificate file. Required.
-d,--dnsubject-dn
Subject distinguished name (DN) of the issued certificate.
-a,--sansubjectAltName
subjectAltName extension to include in certificate. Can be used multiple times.
-l,--lifetimedays
Days the certificate is valid, default: 1095. Ignored if both an absolute start and end time are
given.
-F,--not-beforedatetime
Absolute time when the validity of the certificate begins. The datetime format is defined by the
--dateform option.
-T,--not-afterdatetime
Absolute time when the validity of the certificate ends. The datetime format is defined by the
--dateform option.
-D,--dateformformstrptime(3) format for the --not-before and --not-after options, default: %d.%m.%y%T-s,--serialhex
Serial number in hex. It is randomly allocated by default.
-e,--flagflag
Add extendedKeyUsage flag. One of serverAuth, clientAuth, crlSign, ocspSigning or
msSmartcardLogon. Can be used multiple times. Without modifiers, this overrides flags from PKCS#10
certificate requests. Prefixing a flag with + adds it to the set of flags read from the request,
prefixing it with - removes it from that set.
-g,--digestdigest
Digest to use for signature creation. One of md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, or sha512. The
default is determined based on the type and size of the signature key.
-R,--rsa-paddingpadding
Padding to use for RSA signatures. Either pkcs1 or pss, defaults to pkcs1.
-f,--outformencoding
Encoding of the created certificate file. Either der (ASN.1 DER) or pem (Base64 PEM), defaults to
der.
-b,--ca
Include CA basicConstraint extension in certificate.
-u,--crluri
CRL distribution point URI to include in certificate. Can be used multiple times.
-I,--crlissuerissuer
Optional CRL issuer for the CRL at the preceding distribution point.
-o,--ocspuri
OCSP AuthorityInfoAccess URI to include in certificate. Can be used multiple times.
-p,--pathlenlen
Set path length constraint.
-B,--addrblockblock
RFC 3779 address block to include in certificate. block is either a CIDR subnet (such as
10.0.0.0/8) or an arbitrary address range (192.168.1.7-192.168.1.13). Can be repeated to include
multiple blocks. Please note that the supplied blocks are included in the certificate as is, so
for standards compliance, multiple blocks must be supplied in correct order and adjacent blocks
must be combined. Refer to RFC 3779 for details.
-n,--nc-permittedname
Add permitted NameConstraint extension to certificate. For DNS or email constraints, the identity
type is not always detectable by the given name. Use the dns: or email: prefix to force a
constraint type.
-N,--nc-excludedname
Add excluded NameConstraint extension to certificate. For DNS or email constraints, the identity
type is not always detectable by the given name. Use the dns: or email: prefix to force a
constraint type.
-X,--criticaloid
Add a critical extension with the given OID.
-M,--policy-mappingissuer-oid:subject-oid
Add policyMapping from issuer to subject OID.
-E,--policy-explicitlen
Add requireExplicitPolicy constraint.
-H,--policy-inhibitlen
Add inhibitPolicyMapping constraint.
-A,--policy-anylen
Add inhibitAnyPolicy constraint.
CertificatePolicy
Multiple certificatePolicy extensions can be added. Each with the following information:
-P,--cert-policyoid
OID to include in certificatePolicy extension. Required.
-C,--cps-uriuri
Certification Practice statement URI for certificatePolicy.
-U,--user-noticetext
User notice for certificatePolicy.
